The few Canadians I’ve known could pass for Texans.

@LetTheRedeemed Winters are mild unless you’re in the panhandle in Texas. Nights get bitter in our old drafty farm house, but it’s perfect sized for wood fire heat from one stove, in a bad winter we might burn 2 chords.

We get sleet a few weeks out of the year or so.

Rural Mediterranean areas that are not affected by massive tourism and immigration.

The Dutch are very friendly and laid-back people and I always felt good when I was in the Netherlands. Same problems as everywhere else in the Western world, though. Slovenians are also really nice. Clean cities, too.

But I'm not really a traveller, so I can't contribute much.

@Luke I think "Same problems as everywhere else in the Western world..." is the real issue, and I've resigned to no more "retreating."

What does "no more reatreating" look like in everyday life?

@Luke not running away when they see a brown person in their neighborhood xD

@Luke what noodlecat59 said.

lol no, creating more local contacts with people who share values -- "networking" with people who run small pro-human businesses (think farms/restaurants/grocers/builders), who you can count on when the world goes to pot.

I have a long term goal of creating wholistic farm operations that involve the community.

Think of a neighborhood of lawns with the fences and vanity lawns torn down and converted into a big farm and garden! rip up those concrete sidewalks, and put in stone paths winding around trees, houses, and secret gardens! take over HOA's and build small store fronts out of garages. the money is there for efforts like these, like no other time -- people crave authenticity, community, and health, more than ever, and they're paying thru the nose for the most superficial versions of it (whole foods, farmers markets, farm to table restaurants).

And, it doesn't have to be the quirky weird hippy lizard abstract art vibe (unless you like that).

These are dreams...
